_Me and You_

Breathe inside this water
 Open your eyes You will see me Waiting for you An album
of tragedies Floats past us Don’t touch it Undisturbed by us It revolves around 
you Around me An invisible circle Impenetrable I cannot be you You will not become
me

Tears will connect us
 Mine will flow from my eyes And yours?
